Atom If an atom has more or fewer electrons than its atomic number, then it becomes respectively negatively or positively charged as a whole; a charged atom is called an ion. Electrons have been known since the late 19th century, mostly thanks to J.J. Thomson; see history of subatomic physics for details.

- The charge of an atom is determined by the number of electrons an atom has compared to the number of protons an atom has. If they are equal the atom has a neutral charge. If t…he number of protons is greater, the atom is positively charged. Such atoms commonly are unstable and will decay in time emitting radiation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS FOR THIS CHAPTER The electrons have a negative charge and very little mass. Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus, which has a positive charge. The positive charge in the nucleus is balanced by the negative electrons, making an atom neutral.

- If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are fewer electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge. The amount of charge carried by an atom is always a multiple of the elementary charge, that is, the charge carried by a single electron or a single proton.n electric field, also called an electrical field or an electrostatic field, surrounds any object that has charge. The electric field strength at any given distance from an object is directly proportional to the amount of charge on the object.

Charged Particle But due to the loss of electrons, the atom has excess of protons and hence they have net positive charge and hence are known as positively charged particles. The positively charged particles (could be atom or molecule) are also known as cations.

Mask Filming Locations The cemetary scene at the end was filmed in Boyle Heights, California, just east of Los Angeles at the old evergreen cemetary. The cross streets are Evergreen St. and Cesar Chavez Blvd. [Thanks to Gabriel] Taft High School in Los Angeles (Encino or Reseda) is the High School he attended in the movie.

- The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e − or β −, whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure.

Ions and electrons have a negative electric charge: This means that if an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons it will have no overall charge. When an atom loses an electron it must have more protons than electrons so it will have an overall positive charge: these are all positive ions.

electron An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom. Electrons in atoms exist in spherical shells of various radii, representing energy levels.

Structural Biochemistry/Chemical Bonding Atoms can have an electrical charge, positive or negative. This happens when an atom gains or loses electrons. The number of protons never changes in an atom. More electrons means a negative charge and fewer means a positive charge. Once an atom has an electrical charge it is called an ion. In an ion the atomic number and atomic mass do not change from the original.

- If a NEUTRAL atom gains an electron in its orbital, the charge on the atom decreases by one. If a neutral atom looses an electron the charge increases by one. A neutron is loc…ated in the nucleus of an atom, and can emit a beta minus particle in beta decay, which is a form of radiation.

- An ion is an atom with an electric charge (positive or negative). A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with an electric charge. (Even though it is a group of atoms it acts like it were a single atom.). The names of nearly all polyatomic ions end with the letters ate or ite.

- and electrons have a negative electric charge: e–. This means that if an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons it will have no overall charge. When an atom loses an electron it must have more protons than electrons so it will have an overall positive charge: these are all positive ions.

- In the ground state, an atom will have an equal number of protons and electrons, and thus will have a net charge of 0. However, because electrons can be transferred from one atom to another, it is possible for atoms to become charged. Atoms in such a state are known as ions.

- Once they have given the electron away there are more protons than electrons in the atom and so the atom become positively charged: a cation. The reverse of this applies for group 17 - it is easier for them to gain electrons, thus becoming negatively charged and an anion. + 5 others found this useful. Whitney Burns.

- Atoms vs. Ions. Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion. When an ion is formed, the number of protons does not change. Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons. A neutral sodium atom, for example, contains 11 protons and 11 electrons. By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na + ion that has a net charge of +1. Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged.

- Polyatomic ions: Polyatomic ions are electrically charges collections of two or more atoms. Typically in beginning classes people are not expected to predict polyatomic ion formulas. Polyatomic ions usually have a charge because the collection of atoms has either gained an extra electron or else it has lost an electron.Most of the common inorganic polyatomic ions have negative charges.This means the ion has more electrons than the neutral atoms that are in the ion.A polyatomic ion like phosphate, PO43- has three extra electrons beyond the electrons on the P and O atoms.ost of the common inorganic polyatomic ions have negative charges.

High School Chemistry/Atomic Terminology Confidence votes 572. Atoms have no charge because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged. An equal number of protons and electrons means the charge is cancelled out.

Charge It! Electrons are the negatively charged particles of atom. Together, all of the electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances the positive charge of the protons in the atomic nucleus. Electrons are extremely small compared to all of the other parts of the atom. The mass of an electron is almost 1,000 times smaller than the mass of a proton. Electrons are found in clouds that surround the nucleus of an atom. Those clouds are specific distances away from the nucleus and are generally organized into shells.

- Answer 3: When an atom is electrically neutral, it means that the overall charge of the atom is zero. Atoms are made up of positively charged particles called protons and negatively charged particles called electrons as well as non-charged particles called neutrons.

Propulsion What is an ion? An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. When an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an ION.

Lesson 5: Ions & Isotopes Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged. If they lose only one electron, their charge becomes +1. If they lose two electrons, the charge becomes +2, and so on. As with negative ions, the charge is indicated by a superscript that follows the symbol.
